2010 In Vivo Magnetic Resonance Gordon Research Conference

描述(由申请人提供)：这是一份申请，请求支持第六届戈登研究会议(GRC)：在活体磁共振(MR)。这次会议将涵盖一系列主题，涉及在细胞、动物和人类中使用磁共振成像和光谱学；解决基础科学和临床研究问题。重点将放在新出现的技术、生物和健康相关问题上，这些问题将显著影响这一非凡成像领域的增长。第六届会议将于2010年7月25日至30日在密歇根州安多弗的普罗科特学院举行。第六次会议的主席是Risto A Kauppinen，医学博士，生物医学核磁共振研究中心主任和放射学研究教授，汉诺威达特茅斯学院；副主席是Craig Stanisz，博士，加拿大安大略省多伦多大学医学生物物理系副教授。第五届Vivo MR GRC于2008年在同一地点举行。上届会议非常成功。仪器设备、成像速度的显著进步，以及线圈和梯度技术的广泛进步，继续为磁共振及其在体内的应用创造了丰富的环境。这既是及时的，也是必要的，聚集了领先的个人和未来的研究人员，以深入解决这一重要成像科学领域的下一次冒险，这是在没有其他科学场所所做的事情。In Vivo MR GRC将包括科学会议，每个会议有两到四名演讲者和一名讨论负责人。还将举行四次海报会议(根据以往区域会议的经验，大多数与会者将提交一张海报)和旨在促进与会者之间密切互动的讨论。按照传统标准，GRC的会议规模很小(约140-150人)，但与会者将被邀请/接受，以确保代表学术和政府机构的不同初级和高级调查人员以及来自企业研究项目的个人出席。学生和博士后研究员将被鼓励参加。初级调查人员将有机会进行口头陈述。 公共卫生相关性：请求为第六届戈登研究会议(GRC)提供支持：在活体磁共振：(2010年7月25日至30日)。磁共振(MR)技术在提供高质量的医疗保健方面发挥着关键作用，MR是现代分子医学中的重要参与者。GRC会议将强调与新兴和尖端技术、生物和健康相关的问题，这些问题将对这一非凡成像领域的发展和应用产生重大影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is an application requesting support for the 6th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on: In Vivo Magnetic Resonance (MR). This meeting will cover an array of topics spanning the use of MR imaging and spectroscopy in cells, animals, and humans; addressing both basic science and clinical research issues. Particular emphases will be placed on emerging technological, biological, and health related matters that will significantly impact the growth of this remarkable imaging field. The 6th Conference will be held July 25 - 30, 2010, at Proctor Academy, Andover, NH. The Chair of the 6th Conference is Risto A Kauppinen, MD PhD, Director of the Biomedical NMR Research Center and Research Professor of Radiology, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH; the vice-Chair is Craig Stanisz, PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Medical Biophysics, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The 5th In Vivo MR GRC was held in 2008 in the same location. The previous Conference was extremely successful. Significant advances in instrumentation, imaging speed, and in a wide array of advancements in coil and gradient technologies continue to create a rich environment for rapid growth of MR and its in vivo applications. It is both timely and necessary to gather together the leading individuals and future investigators to address, in depth, as is done at no other scientific venue, the next ventures of this important imaging science field. The In Vivo MR GRC will include scientific sessions, each with two to four speakers and a discussion leader. There will also be four poster sessions (from experience gathered in previous GRCs most participants will present a poster) and discussions designed to facilitate close interaction between the participants. By design, GRC meetings are small by conventional standards (approximately 140-150 participants) but participants will be invited/accepted in a manner to ensure attendance by a diverse group of junior and senior investigators representing academic and government institutions and individuals from corporate research programs. Students and postdoctoral fellows will be encouraged to attend. Junior investigators will be given opportunity for oral presentations. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Support is requested for the 6th Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on :In Vivo Magnetic Resonance: (July 25-30, 2010). Magnetic resonance (MR) techniques play a critical role in the delivery of high quality health care and MR is an essential player in the modern molecular medicine. The GRC meeting will emphasize emerging and cutting-edge technological, biological, and health related issues that will significantly impact the growth and application of this remarkable imaging field.
